I'm thinking of getting new binoculars. These will be used strictly for turkey hunting. Any suggestions?  Thanks

Vortex Diamondback 10 x 28 for turkey and 10 x 42 deer...like watching HD on TV ...looking thru a pair of these and great customer service....

When I was married I carried nothing but really high quality glass. Divorce changes you some financially.
Anyway I was carrying Zeiss they're light n very clear. They're no longer on my neck. I needed a pair of turkey glasses n minis were perfect where I hunt n less cumbersome. I can see maybe a hundred or so yards.
Got a pair of Nikon minis that are great. I absolutely wish you well if you ever need customer service though. They are the worst, most unprofessional, bumbling company I ever came across customer service wise. They're embarrassing. 4 years to resolve a range finder issue. Charged me for a new one that broke without me using n in a year. They lost it. Ugh I'll spare you more venting but the glass is good, size convenient. Out west you'd prob want more. Mine are 10x25 trailblazers

Vortex diamondback's for the coin.  Size is relevant to your need.  For general turkey hunting I'd say the 8x32 would be hard to beat.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

With binoculars you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.
I have swarovski and leica glass. EXPENSIVE but worth the. investment to me. NO issues but if I do the customer service reviews are top notch.

Vortex diamondback all the way. Also bought a pair of pursuit x1 from bass pro in the hunting classic sale that I really like. They are camo and 10x42-----they are very very clear and I think I paid like 79 bucks.

I have the Swarovski pocket binoculars and they were well worth saving up to purchase.  I use them more than the larger binoculars I have.
I have several friends that have looked through mine while hunting and then purchased them as well.

X6 Vortex Diamondback. I use the 10x42 for deer. Turkey only, I'd go 8x32 - but that's for the areas I hunt.

I personally like my leupold Yosemite 6x30. Light and clear. Not to pricey either.

And again!!

There is something to be said for Quality Glass, I have both 8.5x42 EL's (My Big Game Glass) and I went with 10x30 SLC's for my Turkey Glass, these are now ending up more and more in my bow pack too :) I guess the best Lifetime Warranty would be the one you never need to use but is there.

Vortex diamondback, I tote 8x28 and have a pair of 10x42 in the truck. For the money and warranty they cannot be beat.
